CONSUMER CIBIL
REPORT
As we know that one of the
key parameters for any bank to evaluate a customer for the purpose of lending is
CIBIL/ EXPERIAN/CRIF SCORE. Let us discuss about what is “CONSUMER CIBIL REPORT”, how to read it and what information
this report provides.
CIBIL Report is generated
on the basis of database maintained by CIBIL TRANSUNION Agency which gives
information about an individual in terms of his borrowings like loan taken, loan
start date, loan closure date, repayment tenure of the loan, whether there is
any delay done in paying instalments (DPD’s), no of inquiries, nature of
facility whether secured or unsecured, loan taken in individual or guarantor
capacity and so on. We will here discuss major information provided by CIBIL in
its report
1) Date of Generation
of CIBIL Report: It is a very important factor. Never use any outdated
CIBIL report. Always pull a fresh report as CIBIL has now started updating its
data on daily basis
2) CIBIL
Report also provides basic details of the borrower like address, mobile number,
KYC, email address etc.
3) CIBIL SCORE:
This is the most important factor to analyse the past repayment behaviour of
any individual. This Score is generated on the basis of various analytics developed by CIBIL like
repayment behaviour, types of facility availed, DPD’s overdue history, cash
flows etc. CIBIL SCORE are either 0, -1, or in the range of 1 to 5 or 300-900.
Ø SCORE “-1”: It signifies that CIBIL do not have sufficient database
available for the Borrower.
Ø SCORE “0”: It signifies that CIBIL has database available for the
individual but less than 6 months.
Ø SCORE ranging from 1 to 5: It signifies that CIBIL has
database but it’s not able to comment upon the borrower because certain other
parameters which are required to generate the score is not available with CIBIL. 1 is considered as worst score and 5 is considered as best score
Ø SCORE ranging from 300-900: These are those borrowers whose database is available
with the CIBIL and they are able to generate the Score. 300 being the worst
score and is a cautious category and 900 being the best score for the purpose
of evaluating a borrower.(Scoring factors are mentioned in the right hand side
of the SCORE which give reasons for arriving at a particular score)
4) Consolidated
details of all the accounts like total sanctioned amount, balances, overdue,
zero balance accounts, running accounts, number of enquiries done for the
customer in past 24 months are provided before providing individual loan
details so as to give a brief idea of overall accounts of the borrower

6) Days Past Due/ Asset Classification:
If there is any delay in repayment of the loan taken by the borrower then same
can be tracked from Days past due. For example if for some loan Days past due
is being shown as 35 days, it means that the borrower has delayed in repayment
of instalments by 35 days from its due date of payment.
Various
other terms are also used in CIBIL report which shows repayment behaviours of
the borrower as mentioned below:
Ø STD: Its full form is standard which means that no adverse behaviour
is observed in the account and conduct of the account is satisfactory with the
lender bank.
Ø SMA: As per RBI guidelines Full form of SMA is “Special
Mention account” which are further classified as SMA 0, SMA 1 or SMA 2
depending upon delay done by the borrower in repayment.
a)
SMA
“0”
- An account is classified as SMA-0, if it has delayed its obligation between
0-30 days from the due date.
b)
SMA

- An account is classified as SMA-1, if it has delayed its obligation between
30-60 days from the due date.
c)
SMA

days from the due date.
Ø NPA: Full form of NPA is “Non- Performing Asset. There can
be one or more reasons for an account to be classified as NPA. One of the
reason is if there is delay in payment of its obligation by more than 90 days, then
account shall be classified as NPA.

7) Enquiries: In last section of CIBIL Report it shows enquires made for the borrower by the bankers. Higher number of enquiries
in recent period is not a good indicator which reflects borrower has approached
multiple banks in same period for loan which also can be a sign of stress.
As it can be seen from above CIBIL report provides adequate
information to identify a customer as good or bad and to check whether
there are any signs of stress are observed in borrower thereby preventing their
exposure turning into a bad account.
